     The Atrium at The Landmark Bangkok is
       an all-day dining experience boasted by
                   its revamped aesthetics


                  and delectable offerings.

                   BY POOJA PRABBHAN SRIJITH

            had an inkling that a superlative gastronomical experience awaited us
            right when we stepped foot in the expansive yet intimate interiors of
            the newly revamped Atrium restaurant at The Landmark Bangkok.
        And well, my instincts were proven right long before the food arrived.
        Located on the hotel’s lobby level, the all-day dining restaurant serves


        up an international fare as well as homey flavours for the daily buffet,
        which can be accessed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

        Besides upping their culinary finesse with seven new live counters
        (The Bakery, Seafood, Western, Asian, Japanese counters, and more),
        the restaurant takes on a global appeal — sprinkled with classic Thai
        aesthetics — that duly mirrors the inventive menu.
                                                                                                    Overall, the portions are generous, so tread with caution
                                                                                                    if you’re counting your bites. The restaurant’s continual

        array of Thai and global favourites. While it’s tough to                                    something about a ‘sweet’ ending that’s close to home,
        pick from a sumptuous buffet spread where every dish                                        something we are comfortable and familiar with.


        vies for attention, my vote goes to the first dish I sampled
        — Steamed salmon with lime, but more on that later.
